Lu Yun's eyes became slightly darker. He slowly took a step back and bowed: "Eunuch Cao, I don't understand what you mean?"
Cao Ronghui looked at him quietly with his head lowered and closed his eyes.
Whoosh!
When he opened his eyes again, three pairs of magatama evenly distributed appeared around his pupils.
Martial Arts: Eye of Heaven!
"Lu Yun."
"The little one is here."
"Let's ask you again, did you knock out the Ninth Prince and take him to Jinming Palace?" Cao Ronghui's words at this time showed no trace of human emotion.
"As for father-in-law, I don't have a little one." No matter how he asked, Lu Yun still said the same thing.
His mind changes, his energy and blood fluctuate...
very good!
Cao Ronghui's eyes returned to their original state, and he had gotten the answer he wanted.
"Well, our family believes you."
What?!
Lu Yun suddenly raised his head. He didn't expect that he could pass the test so easily.
This is the legendary West Factory that eats people without spitting out their bones!
"Eunuch Cao is very aware of everything, I admire you." Lu Yun bowed again.
Cao Ronghui did not answer his words, but smiled slightly and said: "Are you interested in working under me?"
ah?
Lu Yun was shocked again.
No, how did this promised interrogation end up being a human resources recruitment?
"Don't rush to answer. You can think about it. After you think about it carefully, you can come to Xichang to find me." After that, he left.
Lu Yun took a look and quickly returned to Yuexin Palace.
He went to meet Concubine Wu first.
"Xiao Yunzi is back? Come, let's have a few drinks with me first."
Concubine Wu was leaning on the window sill, holding a wine glass in her left hand. The wine flowing from the corner of her mouth dripped down her soft jawline and onto her clothes, which made her heart flutter.
"Yes, empress."
Lu Yun took the wine glass handed over by the palace maid, filled it up, and came to the side of Concubine Wu.
The faint fragrance filled the nose, and the two drank together.
"Empress, someone from the West Factory came to see me just now..." After a few drinks, Lu Yun spoke softly.
"Um?"
When Concubine Wu heard his words, her face changed slightly, and the blush on her cheeks seemed to disappear a little, and she said quietly: "Is it because of the Ninth Prince?"
"Yes."
Lu Yun then directly reported the entire process.
"Cao Ronghui? I have heard of this person. He has learned a rare martial art by chance and is famous for solving cases and identifying people. However, what surprises me is how did you hide it from him?"
Concubine Wu stared straight at Lu Yun with her beautiful eyes, full of suspicion.
Rare martial arts?
Lu Yun's heart trembled, and he quickly asked: "Mother, what kind of martial arts is this?"
"Eye of the Sky!"
As soon as Concubine Wu finished speaking, Lu Yun's pupils shrank suddenly.
The martial skill "Eye of the Sky" has been recorded in the "Wanxiang Martial Code". It can observe a person's energy and blood fluctuations from a microscopic level. It is a partially auxiliary martial skill.
Then Cao Ronghui should know that he lied.
Seeing that Lu Yun seemed worried, Concubine Wu smiled and said, "However, since that Deacon Cao didn't capture you on the spot, he probably had his own considerations."
Lu Yun nodded.
No matter what, it’s useless to think too much.
Let the soldiers come and cover up the water with the earth.
"Moreover." Concubine Wu seemed to have a plan in mind: "With Li Qishuang's character, after learning that she had caused such a big disaster, she would definitely not say a word before meeting Queen Dugu."
"By the way, empress, there is one more thing."
Lu Yun told Cao Ronghui about his intention to recruit him.
After Concubine Wu heard this, she looked at him with amusement, curved her jade fingers into a hook shape, and slowly raised Lu Yun's chin.
"Oh, my little Yunzi is promising. Even Xichang has taken a liking to you."
However, joking aside, Concubine Wu still said: "If you can enter Xichang, it will be a good thing for you and even Yuexin Palace. After all, you should know the status of Xichang.
"
"I understand, my dear."
Lu Yun just put down his wine glass and wanted to leave, but found that Concubine Wu was still staring at him dimly.
"Empress..."
With such a beautiful woman staring at him, anyone else would probably be a little uncomfortable. The most important thing is that he can only look at her but not eat her.
Concubine Wu smiled: "Xiao Yunzi, are you hiding something from me?"
"Ah?" Lu Yun looked confused.
Concubine Wu put down her wine glass, a slender jade leg emerged from her skirt, and she stepped forward to hook Lu Yun's calf.
"Empress!" Lu Yun was helpless.
"Speak quickly! Xichang is not accepted by everyone, let alone a deacon who personally extends an olive branch."
Facing Concubine Wu's questioning, Lu Yun had no choice but to tell the details.
"Your Majesty, Deacon Cao said that he is interested in my martial arts talent. I...I am now at a high level of Qi and Blood." Lu Yun spread his palms and said.
"What?"
Concubine Wu's charming eyes widened and she almost didn't hold the wine glass in her hand.
"You are already at a high level of Qi and Blood? How is this possible? You have been practicing martial arts not long ago? This is too fast!" Concubine Wu said with a look of shock on her face.
"Really." Lu Yun smiled bitterly: "That's why Deacon Cao asked me to consider whether to work in the West Factory."
After repeated confirmations, Concubine Wu finally accepted this fact.
"good!"
Concubine Wu was overjoyed: "When I return from visiting relatives, you will go to Deacon Cao and tell him that you are willing to join Xichang."
"Yes, empress!" Lu Yun excused himself.
West Factory.
As a deacon, Cao Ronghui had his own exclusive office in the West Factory. He opened the door and entered, called two young eunuchs and asked: "How is it? Has the Ninth Prince spoken?"
"No, he said he wouldn't say anything until he saw Queen Dugu." The two young eunuchs said respectfully.
"That's it...you guys go down."
"As commanded."
After the two of them retreated, Cao Ronghui poured a glass of hot water, and the steam rose, and his pale, beardless face was looming in the steam.
"Jinming Palace. Such troubled times!"
"Lu Yun...interesting!"
In the dream, I didn’t know that I was a guest.
When Lu Yun woke up from his sleep, it was already close to midnight.
He got up, washed up, found a corner, and started practicing "The Twelve Forms of the Spirit Fox". After several times, he felt refreshed and he stopped.
Today, Concubine Wu is leaving the palace to have a wedding. As the eunuch in charge of Yuexin Palace, Lu Yun has a lot of things to deal with early in the morning.
Counting people, arranging carriages and horses, carrying items...
After all these things were done, it was already Chen hour.
Only then did Lu Yun have time to change out of his steward uniform, wash his body, and have a delicious breakfast.
He asked the kitchen to make a fish, meat, and lotus seed porridge based on the recipes of his previous life and the ingredients available in Yuexin Palace.
Soft, waxy and fragrant, it melts in your mouth.
By the time Concubine Wu came out, it was already approaching the end of Chenshi.
